A Norwegian Fish Market.

Bergen has always been the greatest
iish market from time immemOrial. says
a correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, and the northern seafareTs ar
rive day after day with their heavily
laden '.jaegter," picturesque old vessels,
still retaining the shape of the ancient
dragon ships, the Vikings. Fish here,
as in other Norwegian towns, are always
sold alive, and felt somewhat embar-
rassed on timidly demanding cod to
have lively palpitating creature. folded
in paper, laid conidingly in my unwill-
i1g arms. Gossip seemed to be the order
of the day, and a bevy of fish women
stand at every corner, discussing the af-
fairs of the nation. The mothers have
their small daughters clinging to their
skirts-and droll little beings they are,
with shawls pinned across their chests
and handkerchiefs tied tightly round
their faxen heads, shyly Offering plates
of wild strawberries and cranbeFrics they
have gathered in the woods, themselves,
to every passer by.
The NOrwegians are not a particularly
well-favored race, and the majority have
faded colorless skins, and dull, tOw-like
hair. Yet their expressions are as frank
and pleasant as their manners are simple
and candid. The peasant woman's dress
is singularly pretty, and even the plainest
cannot fail to look otherwise than peas
ing in the neat, dark, plated skirts,
bright, red, heart-shaped bOdices and
white chemisettes and in caps which are
simply marvels Of the knitting art. Al,
though the most thrifty people imagina-
bic, the Norwegians are lavish in the mat
ter Of washing. Certainly you never see
a soiled cap or crimpled strings. 90 where
you may. These snowy frills always look
as if they had been put on for the first

Zeal Without knowledge.

A well-known New York lady, Whose
name is the synonym for all that il
benevolent and charitable, especially re.
garding the helpless and povcrty-stricken
OF her own sex, has her summer home in
one of the most beautiful spots on the
Hudson, surrounded by forest trees Of
gre age and magnificence. II occurred
to her last autumn that it would be kind
to give TO a party of city working girls
an opportunity to go ''chestnutting" upon
these grounds. But as a matter of fact
tine chestnuts were then very scarce; yet,
not TO disappoint the girls, a servant was
sent TO the city with instructions to pur.
chase bushel or two OF the nuts and
scatter them around under the chestnut
trees, where they would be most likely 10
be found by the visitors. They were
found by the merry-hearted young
women, and their hostess would have
derived great satisfaction from their en-
joyment and the success of her bcnevo-
lent little fraud il she had not CHANGED
TO come upon several of them sitting
under tree that clearly was not chest
nut, and heard one Of them, who must al
some time have lived in the country, dis
discoursing after this fashion as they
nibhled the nuts:

the hope Of some improvements from the
city. The council frequently talks over the
situation and most of the members favor
commencing improvements and expending
money on the improvements gradually. The

GAS WELL NOTES.

Boring on the gas well has been discontin
ued. The casing has all been drawn from
the well and derrick torn down and piled uI
ready for shipment as well as other ma
chinery. The well is between nineteen hun
dred and two thousand feet deep 1t had
been intended to sink the well twenty-five
hundred feet but owing to the phenomena
gained in the well it was adjudged of no use
| to go further 1t became evident sometime
since that the well was located in the syn
slinal axis, but it was thought possible that
| by going deeper the strata would change to
the anti clinal axis. As the change did not
occur and as the salt water was still the lead
ing find it was decided to abandon it.
The company has decided to sink another
well. Mayor Knapp has made but a partial
survey looking for another location. He
will return in few days and decide on the
matter definitely. There seems, however, to
be no doubt but the second well will be 10
Gated on the west side. So far the point
most favorable is near one mile and a half
west of the Garfield University. That point
has not definitely been determined but pres
ent indications seem to favor that point.
While the present well has
nothing of the gas smell
about it, it seems by no means to furnish
reason for encouragement. The fact of so
decided siyn-cline, makes it evident that
there is a corresponding anticline in which
will be found the gas, provided there is any.
The company hope. in the next well, to STRIKE
the anti-cline, and if they succeed, the ques-
ton will be settled. II the second well hap
pens not to be on the anti-cline, it will give
comparative information concerning the
geological formation of this section. They
will then be enabled to tell something Of the
direction of the earth waves and probably
something of the distance from crest to crest.
If the second well proves not to be on the
aEti-cline third will be drilled, from which
it is thought rather reliable information can
be gained concerning this section.
The company is making arrangements TO
commence on the second well at
an early date. Bids are now being received
for sinking the well and the contract will be
awarded in a few days. A number of COM
panies are preparing bids for the work.

ROCK ISLAND MEN.

R. R. Cable, NJ. a. Law and C. K Fisher,
Rock Island officials arrived in the city yes
terday in a special car and remaining some
time returned north. There are several
theories as to the cause of their visit Some
claim that the appearance of the Frisco
engineers and some other phenomena caused
the Rock Island people te fear, that the Frisco
is making arrangements to extend their line
from this point to Texas and try and be at
the Rock Island in the Lone Star state 1t is
thought that the Rock Island people would
not care about being beat to that country
and If the Frisco makes a start they will be
given race by the Rock Island.
Without any action from the Frisco it is
stated that the Rock Island will not so furth-
er than the territory this yesr. They have
lately turned their attention largely to the
northwest.
